Parson John Tourmann, #67768 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I know John, a can of worms, CA DOJ has folks scared. But an individual can ship to a CA FFL. Look it up on thier web sight. Parson
Percy Hallen Sass #1379 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I have heard that shipping in 2 separate boxes labeled CAR PARTS have been shipped to Kalifornia.
Waimea Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I have heard that shipping in 2 separate boxes labeled CAR PARTS have been shipped to Kalifornia. I did it a couple years ago. I could not find an FFL on my end to ship to CA so I did it myself through FEDEX overnight. Cost $135. Lesson learned. Last time I did that. Waimea
Prescott Palmer Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 I would NEVER intentionally mislabel a shipment. They ask me to do that all the time when I ship stuff to Europe. They want it marked as a gift to avoid taxes. If they catch ya the trouble ya gets into ain't worth it!

Willy B.SASS#26902 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 If I hadn't just bought a pair I'd be all over these.
SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Someday someone is gonna want these two beauties. I want 'em right now- but no dinero. BTT
Prescott Palmer Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Somewhere in the back of my mind I was secretly hopeing they won't sell. Looks like I just might get my wish. So this my last bump, if they don't sell they return to the safe.
Prescott Palmer Posted August 11, 2016 Author Posted August 11, 2016 Well I'm bringing them out again.
meesterpaul Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 the "wanting" is the easy part! I see that you're in PA also. I;m in SE part but get up to Scranton and Hamlin. I have a friend looking for a rifle in 45 Colt. Figured I'd mention that in case you have something available.
Prescott Palmer Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 meesterpaul, sorry, and I don't want to sound snobbish but I only sell to SASS members. If a gun I list on the SASS classifieds doesn't sell than I take it to my local gun dealer and sell it on consignment. That way even non SASS members have an opportunity to buy it.
Prescott Palmer Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 Well we might as well put them back up top again for awhile.
Asa Smith Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I can't believe these haven't sold yet !!! Dealer cost is near $500 @ plus shipping and tax, this is a smoking' deal ! I have 4 already or these would be mine ! BTT for a great set of pistols....
Cat Brules Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 FFL's shipping to California go through about a 1 or 2 minute process online on the CA DOJ website before packaging and shipping both revolvers (these may be easily disassembled) in a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box (about $17.00 plus insurance of about $5.00??). So, the revolvers may be shipped inexpensively by the buyer by paying a FFL to do it for him. FFL's who don't understand how to interact with the CA DOJ website can be quickly walked through the process while doing it in real time by the buyer's FFL in California. It is, as they say, a "no-brainer".
Prescott Palmer Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 I can't believe they havn't sold yet myself. They are as you say a very reasonable price as well as real beauties. Oh well you can't force people to take a good deal. You can lead a horse to water etc., etc., etc.,.
SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 "Someday someone is gonna want these two beauties." I want 'em right now, but no dough rey me.
Prescott Palmer Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Someday they will sell. Just have to wait it out.
Prescott Palmer Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Did I mention that these pistols shoot real 45 Colt (long Colt) and not black powder. Unless u want to load your cases with black powder.
